Description

« Hide

Instructors at Stanford have expressed an interest in listing the groups/sections the announcement was restricted/assigned to in the email notification of the announcement. Currently the Site Title displays in the email notification, but there is no indication of which group(s) were sent the email. These instructors are very worried about confirming that an announcement email went to the correct site members.
